Fall Front Porch

I dried the hydrangea in a large planter pot and then read (on Donna's post Funky Junk Interiors) that as hydrangea dry they take the shape of the container they dry in AND become very fragile. She was correct. Instead of making a few bouquets of dried hydrangea blossoms they had to stay in this container. So, I used them to tweak the front porch.

The before is a bench that needs something done to it. Very dated, not pretty, maybe needs to find a new home, but for now it is on the porch. It does collect a varied amount of 'stuff' on its way in our out of the house. I cleared it off before I took the photo.

Wrapped a couple of bundles of my peavine sticks to give some height to the display.

Added two tin lanterns that are waiting for a new home and called in finished.

So very pretty. Love the hydrangeas. Thank you for sharing. Visiting from FMFPTY. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/09/make-it-pretty-monday-week-15.html Hope to see you at the bash!

What beautiful colors!!! Those hydrangeas are so, so pretty! Hopped over from Saturday Nite Special and I'm happy to be your newest follower. Would love to have you stop by for a visit. Blessings ~ Judy @ www.vintagestreetdesigns.com

Very cute. Donna was so right about the hydrangea. I always forget that they sort of dry to the container shape though until I am trying to move them somewhere else. I love your stick idea for the porch also.
